I get it people don't think things this drastic will happen and I don't know her situation, but is there a reason she's so aggressively invested when she's already retired? Like some money manager just wanting to get more fees? I understand its easy to say now since it's hindsight, but was...

Ok, it's all good. There's a lot of people like that on these boards, so I was just going to concede if that was your angle. But it wasn't so I got caught assuming again. I do that a lot.

I think this conversation is getting over my head and level of comprehension. All I was attempting to do was tell the OP it's possible as I know a trader who averages 2 losing days per year. Anything else I bow out and will concede to your points.

Fair enough, he did say trader though, so I assumed he meant an individual with a reasonable and realistic way of basically never losing. It's possible I assumed wrong and if so he can correct me on that. But as far as I know having an HFT with 100% win rate requires multi people with a...

Has someone figured out how to basically not lose? Yes, absolutely. Particularly traders who have been successful for a long time. For example they could go long NQ and knowing even if it went to 0(if it did they'd have bigger problems anyways) that they still would be fine, due to all the...

It's just a thread of posting, with virtually unlimited time to react, edit your post and think what you want to type. It shouldn't be taking too seriously anyways. If it's really that important, voice communication is really the only way to do things. That way someone doesn't have 15 minutes...

Well I wasn't being completely serious. More like maybe the world ending as we know it (who knows maybe trading somehow, some way won't be viable or maybe the markets go completely unhinged). Just saying that would be my luck after pouring my entire life into trading and literally when the...

I genuinely won't be surprised if the world completely ends to be honest. Finally got some people to listen to me about trading and looks like things are moving forward which will be very favorable for me, so would make sense for everything to collapse before I can pull a large sum of money...

You have to have a consistent. Even if there was something to this move and even if someone knew exactly who sold what they aren't going to tell you. Therefore the only thing one has left to use is reasonable consistency. On my charts the move got overbought plus we know the bears are still in...

Just FYI NQ correlates with ES better than YM and RTY. The correlation may have changed some given all the things going on. But generally speaking 1 ES point = little over 3 NQ points. At any rate they trend the best together in my experience.

It's just typical action / range really these days and likely to continue for a while. There was a lot of technical damage done to charts, so fast and furious moves get overbought quickly and generally get retraced. It's not like everything is solved and completely fine either on a...

1% is pretty low if you have experience, and a clearly defined plan on how you're going to be consistent and get there everyday. That's only $20.00 a day on $2k. Sure, at some point 1% becomes potentially more difficult, but by the time you have that problem you'll likely be successful...

Nicely done Spooz Top 2, I forgot I was an intra-day trader got a level below me stuck in my head and wasn't flexible ,stopped me from taking any further other long setups. Normally I am not that stubborn but rookie mistake and cost me a lot in profits, but at least finished day positive so I...

To be fair he said be careful of the breakout, he was looking longer term. So, yes it was a nice long no doubt, but it pretty much did exactly what he warned of. It is set to be seen if we move lower though. But feels like conflating different time frames.

Thanks, yes I am not normally so uncertain, but with all these mini moves up, it need to start going up really soon because if we break down going to be a lot of buyers under water with not enough exits. I really think we see ES 2480 today, but I am not able to find a way to effectively catch...

Don't really want to short this much lower than my original entry last night and not really feeling the longs here. Any certain trade or area you're looking at? I am not going to do anything until we get to the levels mentioned previously or if we have a swift move up, I'll look...

I'll be missing the long if it takes off from here and doesn't come back. Just not willing to risk my gains, kind of dumb as I am up so can afford to take a trade, but it would be rare for 2480 on ES not to be filled, so just going to play the probabilities.

Well it's all about where YOU buy and what you know. Intra-day trading is also about supply in buyers / sellers. Even if market is down a lot, doesn't really matter if selling supply drys up and there's too many shorts, they will do a short squeeze setup to get them out. Don't get me wrong...

I am scalping longs but ES 2480 is still an area with pretty high probability we hit it. As was discussing last night, I did short some but didn't get many points as it wasn't driving down and didn't want to stay up all night and watch it. Also think 2480ish will have hard time holding if we...

ES is overbought down to about 2480 ish. Generally in these setups we retrace down there fairly quickly. New buyers really need to come in soon to keep this continuation long going. I think decent probability we trade down to 2480ish overnight / tomorrow. Of course nothing is 100%, I am...
